What's New in Managing System Resources?

This section describes new or changed features for managing system resources in this
Oracle Solaris release. For a complete listing of new features and a description
of Oracle Solaris releases, see Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 What’s New.

New prtconf Option to Display Product Names

Solaris 10 1/06: A new -b option has been added to the prtconf command for
the purpose of displaying a system's product name. This option is similar to
the uname-i command. However, the prtconf-b command is specifically designed to
determine the marketing name of a product.

The firmware device tree root properties that are displayed by using the -b
option to the prtconf command are as follows:

psrinfo Command Option to Identify Chip Multithreading Features

Oracle Solaris 10: The psrinfo command has been modified to provide information about physical processors,
in addition to information about virtual processors. This enhanced functionality has been added to
identify chip multithreading (CMT) features. The new -p option reports the total number
of physical processors that are in a system. Using the psrinfo-pv command
will list all the physical processors that are in the system, as well
as the virtual processors that are associated with each physical processor. The default
output of the psrinfo command continues to display the virtual processor information for
a system.

New localeadm Command

Oracle Solaris 10: The new localeadm command allows you to change the locales on
your system without reinstalling the OS or manually adding and removing packages. This
command also allows you to query your system to determine which locales are
installed. To run the localeadm command, you must have superuser privileges or assume an
equivalent role through role-based access control (RBAC).
